Address

3200 block E. Washington Ave.

Victim(s)

Male, age 34, Madison

Details

He had taken his girlfriend out for her birthday Monday night, but as they drove home in the back of a friend's car, he said he had it, had it with the bickering. The couple evidently spent much of the birthday night in a dispute over a possible move to another state. The 34-year old could stand it no longer. He wanted to get out, and get out now. So, he did not wait for the car to stop. Instead, he opted to open a rear passenger door and step out, or fall out, onto busy E. Washington Ave. The victim hit his head while tumbling from the moving vehicle and was taken to a hospital with a brain bleed. An officer's report also indicated he was intoxicated.
